The small laptop (Netbook) thread

[sarahsensible]

^are you referring to the ACer aspire one OS ( Linpus Linux )? MSI Wind uses Windows and Suse Linux that you'll find in thinkpads.

[sarahsensible]

Is this better than the Fujitsu lifebook u810? I went to Hong Kong the other day and it was priced at around 3,500 HKD. ( x 6.25 conversion rate to peso)

That is a tablet w/ stylus. Definitely a better one...integrated 3g pa! Go for it!

I'm planning to buy a small laptop but I'm scared that it won't accomodate The Sims2 and all its expansion packs. My main purpose would be to surf the net, watch a video or two and mostly play The Sims 2. I always imagine myself playing The Sims 2 while on a very long flight. I'm an addict and would like to play it wherever I go. Is it advisable to get a small laptop or to just buy the regular sized one?

I'm super tempted on buying the acer small laptop since it fits my desired budget and the salesman told me that kaya daw ng DOTA so baka kayanin ang The Sims 2.

Please help a Sims addict fulfill her dreams. hehe

A friend told me this was a good brand?  Where can i buy the MSI wind notebook?  Went around the malls and didn't see this

[sarahsensible]

^this one might be really a hottie so malamang nga ubusan

Merong kasamang libreng pouch ito, parang sa EeePC pero, zippered siya.

^Aisa

there are a lot of small lappy's in the market that would suite your needs ex. Lenovo, Dell, Vaio. depende sa budget mo sis

[sarahsensible]

@ Aisa, yes get a laptop instead of a netbook. Hindi kasi pang gaming ang mga netbook usually.

[nijikawaii]

Thanks sarahsensible and p3t3r. I guess I'll just buy a laptop.

i was considering MSI wind dati considering mas maganda specs niya than the eee. what won me over was the battery. 6 cell batt ang eee vs 3 cell ng MSI.

[~yufa~]

^ I think meron din 6 cell MSI...yun [textspeak!] Microsoft version din nila....pag Linux 3 cell lang kaya cheaper...

[FireOnIce]

im planning to buy a new laptop & have it brought here by a relative from the US. i already have a model in mind with the ff specs:

- core2 duo 2.4G
- 3gb ddr2
- 250gb harddrive

i need the above since im gonna be running some emulators, but i wanna get something lighter to lug around since i've got back pains due to scoliosis. Is there any netbook with those specs?

[sarahsensible]

^that would be a regular laptop bec those parts don't come cheap, sa Netbook wala. Get a Thinkpad or a Macbook  . Visit the Laptop Thread

[crestfallen]

what i have is the 3-cell MSI Wind Windows version...
still waiting for the 6-cell battery...
